Layer It On.

Here is my problem with winter: you have to wear a lot of clothes. I strongly prefer sundresses and sandals, shorts and tees. However, I prefer not freezing above all, and Florida bloods tends to run a bit thin. Therefore, I have to play winter's little game and layer up. I think the issue that most girls have with layering is that it can get bulky really quickly. For me, camisoles are key. Throw on a thin, silky camisole and a tissue tee and you've only added like 1/8 inch to your body. Also, don't forget that every layer doesn't have to cover the same spot (i.e. a vest over a jacket), and remember to layer on your bottom half! Tights and wool socks under a long skirt, over-the-knee boots on top of skinny jeans - all of these add warmth and won't make you look hefty.
